EDITOR’S PREFACE 


It is a great satisfaction to me that I am privileged to include in 
my Modern Language Series an English Pronouncing Dictionary 
by Prof. Daniel Jones, whose reputation as a phonetician extends 
far beyond the limits of this country. It is a work of permanent 
value as tlie record, by a competent and careful observer, of a 
certain type of English speech in the first part of the twentieth 
century. 

Prof. Jones, in his introduction, indicates clearly the class of 
people whose speech is represented. His concern has been to 
represent it faithfully, and as far as I am able to judge his 
efforts have been successful. 

It may be pointed out that this form of speech is very widely 
used by educated people in Southern England, and that those 
whose home is elsewhere, and whose dialect differs from it con- 
siderably, often make concessions to it, in order that they may he 
more generally understood. This has been the case, to a marked 
degree, in the ‘ great public schools ’ where this kind of speech 
prevails; and the influence of these schools has been a very great 
(but, I believe, neither the only, nor even the greatest) factor in 
rendering acceptable what Prof. Jones has sometimes called 
'public school pronunciation.’ I am disposed to ascribe the con- 
siderable extension of this form of speech since the middle of the 
nineteenth century chiefly to the influence of women in the home, 
to the increased attention paid to speech in our educational system, 
and to quickened intercourse among members of the English- 
speaking world. 

There are many who think that for the purposes of social inter- 
course and of various kinds of public speaking (such as the pulpit 
and the stage) we require a ‘standard speech' and that, when a 
language is spread as widely over the world as ours is, a generally 
recognized form of speech is no less desirable than a common 
literary language. Every dialect has its interest and its appeal; 
but one who knows only his dialect finds himself at a disadvantage, 
if he should be called upon to pass beyond the limits within which 
that dialect is spoken, and it may well be doubted whether his 
aesthetic appreciation of our literature is not impaired. 

If in our schools we regard it as desirable to deal with the pupils’ 
speech at all, we must have some idea of the kind of speech we wish 
them to acquire; and the clearer that idea is, the more effective 
will our efforts be. My own feeling is that our aim should be to 
secure a form of speech that shall be not merely intelligible but 
pleasing to the greatest number of educated speakers of English; 
and that implies not only an unobjectionable pronunciation but 
good voice production.

EDITOR’S PREFACE 

Those who take an interest in these problems will find that 
Prof. Jones’s dictionary supplies them with an admirable basis fmr 
discussion; and it will help them to realize (what they too often 
fail to realize) that before expressing views as to how people ought 
to speak, it is well to have some knowledge of how people actuaiUy 
do speak. It is a fatally attractive subject for dogmatizing; but 
the assumption of infallibility in matters of pronunciation, common 
as it is, should always arouse suspicion. This book does not claim 
to afford a model of pronunciation, and criticism that attributes 
to it any such claim is futile. It is to be judged as a record of facts. 
To the phonetician it is bound to be of absorbing interest; apd to 
those who like me believe that we can and should face the question 
what should be taught as 'standard English speech’ it will prove 
no less stimulating.

PREFACE TO THE FIFTH EDITION 

The fifth edition of this dictionary is in the main a reprint of the 
fourth. Corrections or amplifications have, however, been made in 
the case of 243 words, and 102 new words have been added. These 
are listed in Appendix II. I am indebted to friends and corre- 
spondents for nearly all of them, and I would express my thanks 
more particularly to Professor H. C. Wyld and Mr. R. H. Pinhom 
who supplied me with valuable information regarding some English 
family names and Malayan place-names respectively. 

The dictionary now contains 54,860 words, including 13,327 
proper names. 

important note on transcription has been added in the 
Introduction (footnote 3, p. xii).

PREFACE TO THE SIXTH EDITION 

This sixth edition of this dictionary is a reprint of the fifth, embody- 
ing, however, the corrections, amplifications, and additions listed in 
Appendix III. It will be seen that corrections or amplifications 
have been made in the case of 77 words, and that 42 new words 
have been added. 

The dictionary now contains 54,902 words, including 13,349 
proper names (see p. xxvi).

PREFACE TO THE FOURTH EDITION 

It has been evident for some years past that this dictionary was in 
need of enlargement and of detailed revision. Many new words 
have entered the language and many rare words have become 
common since the book was first published (1917). Moreover, 
man3( words have undergone changes of pronunciation during that 
period: new pronunciations have appeared, and pronunciations 
which were previously rare have now come into common use. 

Hence this new (fourth) edition, which has been reset, and which 
I hope brings the book completely up to date. It contains 54,758 
words (including 13,283 proper names, but excluding the inflected 
forms, see page xxvi).^ Lists of the principal additions and emenda- 
tions (as compared with the first edition and its reprints) are given 
in the Appendix. 

The phonetic alphabet is the same as in the original edition, 
except that vertical stress-marks have been used in place of the 
former oblique marks, in accordance with the recommendation 
made by the Association Phonetique Internationale in 1927. For 
indicating length an ordinary colon has been employed, instead of 
the colon with triangular dots, as it was found that the latter 
s3nnbol becomes indistinct in reprints. 

The style of transcription is likewise the same as before, viz. 
‘semi-broad’ (see page xii). 

The Introduction has been modified in various respects. 

In preparing this edition I have adhered to the principle originally 
followed of making the work in the main a record of pronunciations 
which I use myself or which I have actually heard used by others 
or (in comparatively few cases) which have been reported to me by 
competent observers. I have, however, derived considerable help 
from two other sources of information, which did not exist when 
the book was first written, namely Wyld’s Universal English Dic- 
tionary, and volumes I to VI of the B.B.C.'s Recommendations to 
Announcers', the authors of these works are excellent phoneticians 
and their observations can be relied upon. Other reference books 
have been used as sparingly as possible. 

For many of the additions and improvements in this edition, 
as indeed for many particulars embodied in the original edition, 
I am indebted to friends and correspondents. 

* The original edition of 1917 contained 49,690 words (including 11,614 
proper names). The second and third editions (1924 and 1926) contained 
50,290 words (including 12,044 proper names).

PREFACE TO THE FOURTH EDITION 


Foremost among them is Mr. Walter Ripman, whose help dates 
from the time the book was in contemplation. The original plan 
of the work was settled very largely in consultation with him; later 
on he revised the whole of the original manuscript with great care, 
and supplied me with much information that I lacked and in- 
numerable suggestions for improvements. He also revised the 
whole of the original proofs. Since the appearance of the original 
edition he has continued his assistance, and in particular has 
furnished me with the pronunciation of several hundred surnames 
in which the spelling is little or no guide; the pronunciation was, 
in every case, ascertained by Mr. Ripman from persons bearipg the 
names. It is with much pleasure that I take this opportunity 
of again expressing my gratitude to him for all his help. 

Others who have rendered special assistance are Miss L. E. Arm- 
strong, Miss E. E. Quick, Mrs. H. M. Davies, Miss E. M. Evans, 
Miss E. H. A. Robson, Professor A. Lloyd James (the editor of the 
*B.B.C. booklets on Broadcast English), Mr. G. Noel-Armlield, 
Mr. H. O. Coleman, Mr. D. Abercrombie, Mr. Edmund Jones, 
Mr. A. P. Rudolf, Dr. G. Dietrich, Professor G. Kirchner, Dr. G 
Caro, Dr. M. Draber, Dr. M. Polak, and Mr. M. Joos. To these and 
many others I tender my sincere thanks. 

A work of this nature cannot be complete. Moreover, it is too 
much to hope that errors have been entirely avoided, though every 
effort has been made to render the information accurate. I should 
therefore be grateful if any users of the dictionary who detect 
errors or important omissions would be so kind as to bring them 
to my notice.

INTRODUCTION 


OBJECT OF THE BOOK 

I. The object of the present dictionary is to record, with as much 
accuracy as is necessary for practical linguistic purposes, the pro- 
nunciation used by a considerable number of typical Southern 
English people (see § 3) in ordinary conversation. 

2. The book is a record of facts, not of theories or personal pre- 
ferences. No attempt is made to decide how people ought to 
pronounce; all that the dictionary aims at doing is to give a faithful 
record of the manner in which certain people do pronounce. 

THE PRONUNCIATION 

3. The pronunciation represented in this book is that which I 
believe to be most usually heard in everyday speech in the families 
of Southern English people who have been educated at the 
public schools.^ This pronunciation is also used (sometimes with 
modifications) by those who do not come from the South of Eng- 
land, but who have been educated at these schools. The pro- 
nunciation may also be heard, to an extent which is considerable 
though difficult to specify, from natives of the South of England 
who have not been educated at these schools. It is probably 
accurate to say that a majority of Londoners who have had a 
university education, use either this pronunciation or a pronuncia- 
tion not differing greatly from it.^ 

4. I believe that the pronunciation above referred to is readily 
understood in most parts of the English-speaking world. This 
result is perhaps due to the boarding-school system of education 
prevalent in England. For centuries past boys from all parts of 
Great Britain have been educated together in boarding-schools. 
If a boy in such a school has a marked local peculiarity in his 
pronunciation, it generally disappears or is modified during his 
school career under the influence of the different mode of speaking 
which he hears continually around him; he consequently emerges 
from school with a pronunciation similar to that of the other boys, 

^ ' Public school ' in the English sense, not in the American sense. 

* The pronunciation is in the main that which I use myself. I have, how- 
ever, put my pronunciation in a secondary place in all cases where another 
form appears to me to be in more frequent use. 

ix 



X INTRODUCTION 

Similar considerations apply to the modem boarding-schools 
for girls. 

5. In day schools local pronunciations do not disappear nearly 
as readily as in the boarding-schools, because the pupils continually 
hear the local pronunciation used around them. Nevertheless the 
fact remains that people in every important centre often have 
opportunities of hearing the above-mentioned pronunciation either 
from residents who have had a public school education, or through 
the constant intercommunication with London, or through the 
school teachers, or last, but not least, through broadcasting. For 
these reasons I think it probable that this form of speech is paore 
widely understood with ease in Great Britain than any other form 
would be. In what follows I call it ‘Received Pronunciation’ 
(abbreviation RP), for want of a better term. I wish it to be 
clearly understood, however, that RP means merely ‘widely under- 
stood pronunciation,' and that I do not hold it up as a standard 
^hich everyone is recommended to adopt. 

6. RP is, as far as I have been able to ascertain, also easily 
understood in South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand, and by 
English-speaking Canadians. Even in the United States, where so 
many varieties of pronunciation are to be heard, it seems that this 
pronunciation is fairly universally understood without difficulty — 
a curious fact considering that American speech is not by any means 
always understood in England. Several American teachers (mostly 
from New York and the North-Eastern part of the United States) 
have indeed informed me, somewhat to my surprise, that RP or 
RP with slight modifications would be a suitable standard for 
teaching in American schools. Personally, however, I cannot 
think that any attempt to introduce this pronunciation into America 
is likely to meet with success. 

7. The fact that RP and approximations to it are easily under- 
stood almost everywhere in the English-speaking world does not 
mean that RP is used by a majority of English-speaking people. 
On the contrary, it is used by a rather small minority. There are 
countless other ways of pronouncing English in existence, some of 
them being used by large communities. Whether broadcasting 
will alter this state of things remains to be seen. 

8. I would add here that I do not regard RP as intrinsically 
‘better’ or more ‘beautiful’ than any other form of pronunciation. 
I have recorded it because it happens to be the only type of English 
pronunciation about which I am in a position to obtain full and 
accurate information. 

9. I wish also to state that I have no intention of becoming either 
a reformer of pronunciation or a judge who decides what pro- 
nunciations are ‘good’ and what are ‘bad.’ My aim is to observe 
and record accurately, and I do not believe in the feasibility of 



INTRODUCTION xi 

imposing one particular form of pronunciation on the English- 
speaking world. I take the view that people should be allowed to 
speak as they like. And if the public wants a standardized pro- 
nunciation, I have no doubt that some appropriate standard will 
evolve itself. If there are any who think otherwise, it must be 
left to them to undertake the invidious task of deciding what is to 
be approved and what is to be condemned. This book will provide 
them with some of the materials they will require as a basis to 
work upon. 

• 

UTILITY OF THIS BOOK IN PRACTICAL LINGUISTIC TEACHING 

(i) Utility in General 

10. This book will, it is hoped, prove useful to any one who 
wishes to find out an existing pronunciation of words or proper 
names which he has seen written but never heard.^ In addition it 
will be found to have the following special uses depending on the 
normal speech of the student. 

(2) Utility to the English Student who speaks with the RP 

11. A study of this pronunciation will help such a student to 
realize what sounds he uses when he speaks. This knowledge will 
be of value to him when he is learning the pronunciation of foreign 
languages, or if he should be called upon to teach his own pro- 
nunciation of English. 

(3) Utility to the English-speaking Student whose Pronunciation 
differs from that here recorded 

12. A study of RP will bring home to such a student the im- 
portant fact, which is fundamental to all linguistic study, that 
great variations of pronunciation exist, and are to be expected. 

13. If he is a teacher of English, it is desirable that he should be 
familiar with the main features of other types of English speech 
besides his own. 

(4) Utility to Foreigners 

14. Many foreigners will no doubt consider RP a suitable pro- 
nunciation for them to acquire, for the practical reasons that it 
is widely understood in the English-speaking world and that there 
are numerous books dealing with it. 

^ Its use is thus the contrary of that of the English Phonetic Dictionary by 
H. Michaelis and D. Jones (Carl Meyer. Hanover). That work is designed 
for those who wish to find out the current spelling of words they have heard 
but not seen written.

INTRODUCTION 


THE TRANSCRIPTION 

15, The phonetic alphabet used is that of the Association 
Phonetique Internationale. I have adopted this system of transcrip- 
tion because I consider it the best at present in existence. 

16. A fairly ‘broad’ form of transcription is employed. From 
some points of view I should have preferred to use a completely 
broad form based rigidly on the principle ‘one letter per phoneme.’ 
If a suitable variety of the language is chosen for transcription, 
such a system would require only seven vowel-letters (i, e, a, o, u, 
A, a), the smallest number possible without giving rise to ambigaity.^ 
The use of this system would, however, have precluded me from 
indicating certain variants which it seemed desirable to include.® 
The transcription is therefore narrowed to the extent of introducing 
four extra vowel-symbols (e, ae, a, and o).* 

% 17. Some critics have urged me to adopt what has been termed 
‘the narrow transcription’ of English,* which involves introducing 
four further letters (to differentiate the qualities of short and long « i », 
« u », « 0 », « a ») .® At one time I was much attracted by this type of 
transcription. I used it regularly in Le Maitre Phondtiqne from 1923 
to 1928, and I have experimented with it in practical teaching for 
many years. My conclusion is that it presents certain advantages in 
connection with teaching the phonetics of English to English-speak- 
ing students, since types of English exist which do not exhibit con- 
sistent relationships between vowel-quality and length. For other 
purposes, however, I find a broader transcription more serviceable. 

D.J. 

^ Specimens of this style of transcription will be found in Le Maitre 
PhonHique, Jan. 1931, p. 12, Jan. 1932, p. 8, April 1932. p. ^4, and various 
other numbers of Le Maitre Phonetique from 1935 onwards. 

^ Namely the « ea » which occurs as a variant of « eia », the long « ae: » now often 
heard in various words (e.g. glad), the short ((a)) heard in some interjections, 
and the monophthongal un.stres.sed «o)) occurring as an alternative to ((ou)), 
or «o)> or (o » in many words (e.g. molest, obey, torrential). 

® The inclusion of (( e » and (( 0 » is in reality a complication of very doubtful 
value. These letters can quite well be replaced by (( e » and (( o )), since the 
variants written « ea » and (( o )) in this dictionary are adequately covered by jthe 
notations ((eia)) and ((ou)) with appropriate conventions. 

^ As iised, for instance, in Armstrong's English Phonetic Reader (University 
of London Press) and Ward's Phonetics of English (Heffer, Cambridge). 

® Some indeed would like to see the transcription narrowed still further, 
e.g. by introducing a special letter for one of the varieties of unstressed ((i)), 
by designing a new letter for the ordinary English ((O) (on the ground that it 
differs from French ((e)) and (( c ))), by using a special sign for ' dark ' (d », etc. 
In my view such additions are undesirable, since they complicate the phonetic 
writing unnecessarily, and impair its legibility and general usefulness. 



EXPLANATIONS 


I. How TO READ THE ENTRIES 

All entries in this dictionary are to be taken as expressions of opinion by 
the author. Thus the entry 

celluloid 'seljuloid 

is to be taken to mean ‘ The word written in conventional spelling celluloid 
is, in the opinion of the author, generally pronounced « 'seljuloid ))4n ordinary- 
conversation by the people referred to in § 3 of the Introduction, subject to 
variations referred to in the notes on pp. xx-xxiii.* 

II. Meaning of [] 

Where two (or more) pronunciations of a word are cunent among the 
people referred to in § 3 of the Introduction, and neither (or none) of the forms 
can be considered rare (relatively to the frequency of the word), both (or all) 
arc as a rule given, the less frequent form (or forms) being enclosed in square 
brackets []. The- only common variants not included are those mentioned 
in Section XIX. Thus the entry 

dynastic di*na0stik [dai*n-] 

is to be taken to mean that the forms « di'naestik » and « dai'naestik » both 
occur in RP, « di'naestik » being in the author's opinion the more frequent. 

In a few cases where it was particularly difficult to form any idea of the 
relative frequency of variants, the forms have simply been separated by 
commas. This is done, for instance, in the case of the interjection humph, 
where only the form « hAmf )> is enclosed in [ ] as being distinctly less frequent 
than the other forms. 


Ill, Rare Pronunciations 

Pronunciations which are undoubtedly rare (relatively to the frequency 
of the word) in the speech of those referred to in § 3 of the Introduction are 
not as a rule included in the dictionary. In cases where for some special 
reason it has been thought desirable to mention the existence of such rarer 
forms, the fact that they are not of the same degree of commonness as other 
variants has been shown by the addition of ' rarely* * old-fashioned,* or some 
other qualifying term. 

IV, Meaning of Italic Letters 

When two variant pronunciations are distinguished by the insertion or 
omission of a single sound, and both forms appear to be of approximately 
equal frequency, the fact is indicated by printing the symbol of the optional 
sound in italics. Thus the entry 

defamatory di'faemotoi 

is to be taken to mean that the forms « di'f asms tori » and <k di'fssmotri » both 
occur in RP, the two forms being of approximately equal frequency, 

xiii 



xiv EXPLANATIONS 

V. Meaning of (:) 

When two variant pronunciations are distinguished by the use of « i: » and 
« i (( u: » and a u », or « o: » and « a », and the two forms appear to be of 
approximately equal frequency, the notation « i(:) », « u(:) », or « 9(:) » has been 
adopted. Thus the entry 

duplicity dju(:)*plisiti 

is to be taken to mean that the forms « djui'plisiti » and « dju'plisiti » both 
occur in RP, and are of approximately equal frequency. 

VI. Combination of Variant Forms 

When two or more variant pronunciations are indicated, it is to be lyidcr- 
stood that the forms may be combined in so far as they may be compatible 
with each other. Thus the entry 

lithograph •li0dgra:f [-0og-, -gracf] 

is to be taken to mean that the four forms « 'liOagra.f », « 'li0ogra:f », « 'li03- 
gr^f », « 'liOograef », all occur in RP, « 'li0agra:f » being on the whole the most 
ffequent. Similarly the entry 

distinction dis'tig^/^n 

is to be taken to mean that the four forms « dis'tigkjan », « dis'tigjon », « dis- 
'tigkjn)), « dis'tigjn », all occur in RP, and are of approximately equal 
frequency. 

VII. Variant Spellings 

Square brackets [ ] are also used to show variant spellings of words written 
in conventional spelling in more than one way, but the use of these brackets 
has in this case no reference to the frequency of either spelling. Thus the two 
spellings iron-gray, iron-grey are grouped together under the notation 

iron-gray [-grey] 

This device is not resorted to when the two spellings would be widely separated 
from each other in the alphabetical order of the words, as in the ca.se of 
coloration and colouration. 

Variations of spelling distinguished by the presence or absence of a single 
letter are shown, when convenient, by enclosing that letter in round brackets 
(). Thus the two spellings zincky, zinky are grouped together under the 
notation zin(c)ky. 

In like manner, proper names which have the same pronunciation, but 
spellings differing by the presence or absence of a single letter, are often com- 
bined by enclosing that letter in round brackets ( ). Thus the entry 

Blox(h)am 'bbksom 

' is to be taken to mean that the proper names Bloxham and Bloxam are both 
pronounced « 'bloksom ». 

VIII. Proper Names identical with Ordinary Words 

When a proper name is identical with an ordinary word both in conven- 
tional spelling and in pronunciation, the fact is indicated by placing a capital 
letter in round brackets ( ) after the ordinary spelling of the word. Thus the 
entry 

hay (H.) hei 

is to be taken to mean that the noun hay and the proper name Hay are both 
pronounced « hei ». 



EXPLANATIONS xv 

When two proper names exist, one of which is identical in spelling and 
pronunciation with the singular and the other with the plural of an ordinary 
noun, the one bracketed capital letter placed after the singular noun is to be 
understood to cover also the name having the plural form. Thus the (G.) in 
the entry 

gibbon (G.), -s 'giban, -z 

is to be taken to show that Gibbons is pronounced a 'gibanz » as well as that 
Gibbon is pronounced « 'giban ». Where, however, a name of plural form 
has a different pronunciation from that of the plural noun, it is given as a 
separate entry {e.g. Gillies). 


I3f. Proper Names pronounced Differently but spelt the Same 

When two different proper names happen to have the same conventional 
spelling, the different pronunciations are separated by commas. Thus the 
entry 

Bowden ‘boudn, 'baudn 

is to be taken to mean that there is a proper name Bowden pronouncid 
« 'boudn » and another proper name Bowden pronounced « 'baudn ». 
Similarly with Batho, Laing, Jaques, Rowan, Powell, and many others. 


X. Borrowed Foreign Words 

In the case of borrowed foreign words which are pronounced in the foreign 
way or nearly so by many of the people referred to in § 3 of the Introduction, 
the foreign pronunciation is added in round brackets ( ). Thus the entry 

causerie 'kouz 9 ri(:) (kozri) 

is to be taken to mean that the more usual pronunciation of people referred 
to in § 3 of the Introduction is « 'kouzori: » or « 'kouzari », but that some 
would pronounce « kozri » in the French way or an approximation to this. 

The same plan is adopted in the case of those words which are not really 
foreign, but are sometimes pronounced as if they were (see, for instance, 
ormolu). 

It is to be understood then that all phonetically written words enclosed in 
round brackets ( ) are foreign (or supposed by some to be so), and the symbols 
are in such cases to be taken to have their foreign values. Thus in the French 
transcriptions the short « i » is to be taken to represent the tense sound, the 
« e » is to be taken to be about cardinal vowel No. 2, and an «9)) occurring in 
the first syllable of a French word is capable of being elided in accordance 
with the rules of elision in French. In the German transcriptions « a » is to 
be ’taken to have an intermediate value not very different from English « a ». 
Readers requiring details as to the formation and use of such foreign sounds 
must refer to books on the phonetics of the language in question. 


XI. Words grouped under Head-words 

The pronunciations of all plurals of nouns are shown under the singulars; 
all comparatives and superlatives of adjectives and inflected forms of verbs 
are given under the simple words from which they are derived. Likewise 
nouns formed from other words by means of the terminations -er, -ing, -ment, 
-or, or -ness, and adverbs formed by adding the termination -ly will generally 



xvi EXPLANATIONS 

bo found under the words from which they may be considered to be derived. 
Thus talker, meeting (5.), annulment will be found under talk, meet, annul. 

Other derivatives are also grouped under simple words, when no difficulty 
in finding them is caused thereby. Thus refractive will be found under 
refract, motherhood and motherless under mother. 

The derived forms of words are not as a rule written out in full, but the 
terminations to be added are each preceded by a hyphen and divided by a 
comma or sometimes by a semicolon from what precedes. Thus the entry 

afford, -s, -ing, -ed o'foid, -z, -ii), -id 

is to be taken to mean that in RP the words afford, affords, affording, afforded 
are pronounced « a'fo:d », « o'fo:dz », « o'fordig », « o'fo:did ». 

^^en the head-word is a monosyllable, and a termination for fomjing a 
derived word adds another syllable, it is to be understood that the derived 
word has a strong stress on the root-syllable. Thus from the entry 

nine, -s, -fold; -pin/s nain, -z, -fould; -pin/z 

it is to be understood that ninefold and ninepm have single stress (on the first 
Syllable). And from the entry 

ewe, -s; -lamb/s ju:, -z; -'laein/z 

it is to be understood that ewe-lamb is pronounced with double stress. 

When a head-word is a compound of which the second element is an un- 
stressed monosyllable, and a termination for forming a derived word adds 
another syllable, it is to be understood that the derived word has secondary 
stress on the first syllable of the second element. Thus from the entry 

wash-hou|se, -ses 'woJhau|s, -ziz 

it is to be understood that wash-houses is pronounced « 'woJ,hauziz ». 

When the final part of a head-word is not repeated before a termination, 
the part to be repeated is marked off by | (see, for instance, addendum, fade). 
The same thing is done when the final part undergoes some alteration in pro- 
nunciation, though not in spelling, in an inflected form (see, for instance, 
nocturnal, where | precedes the al) , 

Words not grammatically connected (and especially proper names) are 
often similarly grouped together, with or without the use of the mark |, where 
no difficulty in finding the words is caused thereby. Thus the entry 

Fen I ton, -wick 'fen [tan, -ik 

is to be taken to mean that in RP Fenton is pronounced « 'fentan » and 
Fenwick « 'fenik ». 

The mark / is often used to indicate derivatives of words grouped under a 
head-word. Thus the entry 

elegan|ce, -t/ly 'eligonls, -t/li 

is to be taken to mean that in RP the words elegance, elegant, elegantly 
are pronounced « 'eligans », « 'eligant », « 'eligantli ». 

"VSHien one or more derived words are grouped under a head-word as ex- 
plained above, and a variant pronunciation of the head-word is given, that 
variant is to be taken to apply to all the derived words in so far as this may 
be possible. Thus it is to be understood from the entry 

Galt, -on go:lt [gait], -pn 

that Galton as well as Galt is subject to the variant pronunciation with 

«0 9 . 



EXPLANATIONS

XII. Variations of Stress 

Variations of stress are indicated in many cases by representing the syllables 
of the word in question by hyphens, instead of writing the word out in its 
entirety. Thus in the entry 

Waterloo ,wD:to'lu: * — ] 

the indications ' — are to be taken to mean the pronunciations « 'woita'lu:, 
'woitolu: ». Very often (as in this case) a note is appended stating in what 
circumstances or by whom the variants are used. 


XIII. Abbreviated Spellings 

A certain number of common abbreviations (such as Bros., cwt., E.C., MSS, 
q.v.) are included in the dictionary. These are arranged in the alphabeti- 
cal order according to the letters composing them. Similarly the names 
beginning with St. are placed among the other words beginning with st- ; thus 
St. Francis follows Steyning in alphabetical order. 


XIV. r-LiNKING 

The phenomenon of r-linking requires special mention. It will be recalled 
that the sound « r » is often inserted at the end of a word when the word 
immediately following it in connected speech begins with a vowel. Usage 
varies in many ways, but the main facts are as follow^s: 

(1) Such addition of « r » only takes place at the end of w^ords which 
normally terminate in « o », « a: », a o: », or « q: ». 

(2) It does not as a rule take place unless the word has a close or fairly 
close grammatical connection with the w^ord following. 

(3) In the speech of many of those referred to in § 3 of the Introduction 
there are a certain number of words ending in the abo /e-mentioned vowels 
after wdiich no « r » is ever inserted. These words are left unmarked in this 
dictionary, and the mark * is placed at the end of all words which are capable 
of taking the final « r » in the pronunciation of these speakers. Such speakers 
pronounce far by itself as « fa: », but far away as « 'farra'wei »; they pronounce 
the idea of it as « 5 iai'diaovit )).i 

(4) In the speech of another considerable proportion of those referred to 
in § 3 of the Introduction such insertion takes place not only at the end of 
words marked ♦, but also at the end of every other w^ord terminating with 
(( a ». These pronounce the idea of it as « 5iai'di.9rovit^).i 

(5) A few of those referred to in § 3 of the Introduction extend the practice 
to all words ending in « a: » and « o: », 

(6) Some again never insert « r » at all. not even in wwds marked •. These 
pronounce far away as « 'fara’wei ». 

The entry 

far fa:* 

is therefore to be taken to mean that a considerable proportion of those referred 
to in § 3 of the Introduction would pronounce the word « fa:r » when followed 
by a w^ord beginning with a vowel w^hich is closely connected by the sense 
(as in far away), but « fa: » in all other cases. 

The entry 

idea ai'dia 

(where a word ending in <0 » is not follow^ed by *) is to be taken to mean that 
a considerable proportion of those referred to in § 3 of the Introduction 

1 Or « -ovit 



xviii EXPLANATIONS 

pronounce the word « ai'dio » in all circumstances, though many insert k r » 
when the word is immediately followed by a word beginning wdth a vowel. 

In derivatives from a word the phonetic rendering of which ends with * 
(( 3 ) above), the ♦ is to be dropped. Thus the entry 

flatter, -s, -ing/ly, -ed, -er/s Tlaeto*, -z, -rir)/li, -d, -ro*/z 

is to be taken to mean that in RP the words flatter, flatters, flattering, 
flatteringly, flattered, flatterer, flatterers are pronounced « 'flaeto*, 'flaetaz, 
•flaetdrii), 'flaetorigli, 'flaetod, 'flaetara*, 'flaetoraz#. 


XV. Incomplete Plosive Consonants 

It is to be understood throughout that when two plosive consonants occur 
next to each other in a word, as in act (aaekt »), bedtime (a 'bedtaim »), the 
first is pronounced without explosion, i.e. it consists of ‘ stop ' only. Cases 
of unexploded stop not coming under this general rule are indicated by 
placing a reversed comma immediately after the consonant symbol (as in 
(tvTOUpf)), a variant pronunciation of the interjection no). 


XVI. Syllabic Consonants 

The fact that a consonant is syllabic is only marked (by placing , under the 
symbol) when there might be ambiguity. Thus the syllabic « 1 » is specially 
marked in « ‘flaenji » (flanneliy), because « 'flaenli » would indicate a pro- 
nunciation rhyming with Hanley, 


XVH. Syllable-division 

It has been necessary to show what is commonly known as * syllable- 
division ' in all cases where the transcription without special mark might 
lead to ambiguity. A hyphen is used to mark the division. This mark is not 
to be taken to indicate any cessation of sound; it simply means that the 
preceding syllable is treated in the matter of the relative length of its elements 
as if it were final. The use of this hyphen always implies a lengthening of the 
sound (vowel or consonant) immediately preceding. 

Thus beestings (first milk of a cow) and bee-stings (stings of bees) are distin- 
guished in pronunciation, and this distinction is shown in the transcription 
by writing (( 'biistigz » and « 'bi:-stipz » respectively; it will be observed 
that the ai; » in the latter case is noticeably longer than in the former. 
Other examples are « 'bai-plein » (biplane), cp. « ‘paip-lain » (pipe-line), 
« 'maus-tr«p » (mousetrap), cp. « *toust-raek » (toast-rack), « * Jel*fi| » (shell-fish), 
cp. «'self-ij)) (selfish), « 'nAt-Jel » (nutshell), cp. (('mit/d)) (Mitchell). (« tj)) 
is always to be taken to have the affricate value when the two letters are not 
separated by a hyphen.) 

When the syllable immediately following the point of syllable-division has 
a primary or secondary stress, the h)rphen is not inserted, the presence of the 
stress-mark being a sufficient indication. 

The presence of - is to be understood, whenever necessary, in front of the 
terminations of derivatives or other words grouped under a head-word. Thus 
it is to be understood in « *delft-w6a* » (Delftware), « *goul-poust » (goal-post), 
a 'gAn-stok » (gun-stock), since the transcriptions a ‘delftweo*, ‘goulpoust, 
'gAnstokn might equally well stand for the non-existent pronunciations 
<( 'delf-tweo*, ‘goulp-oust, 'gAns-tok ». 



EXPLANATIONS 


xix 


XVIII. Strong and Weak Forms 

The mention * strong form * appended to a pronunciation means that the 
form in question is the one which the word has when stressed. The designa- 
tion * weak form * means that the form in question only occurs in unstressed 
position. 

It is to be understood that circumstances exist in which strong forms occur 
unstressed, but in no case does a weak form occur stressed. 

Unless the term * weak form * is amplified by some such qualification as 
' occasional * it is to be understood that the weak form (or one or other of 
the weak forms, when several are given) is the pronunciation most usually 
heard when the word is unstressed. 


XIX, Variants of Sound-distribution occurring in RP but not as 
A Rule noted in the Dictionary 

It has for practical reasons not been possible to include in the body of the 
dictionary all the variants of every word. We give below some examples 
of the chief variants which can be represented without recourse to a stfll 
' narrower * system of phonetic notation, but which have generally been 
omitted from the dictionary on practical grounds. All these varieties may 
be heard from people of the type referred to in § 3 of the Introduction. 

(1) Omission of at)) and <(d)) from the groups ants)), ((ndz», e.g. «hins» 

for « hints », « saunz » for « saundz » (sounds). 

(2) Insertion of « t » between « n » and « s », or of « d » between « n » and 

« z », e.g. ((fents )) for « fens » (fence), « *frendzi » for « 'frenzi » (frenzy). 

(3) Very numerous assimilations and reductions due to the proximity of 

other words. Such are: « d3Aj » for « dsAst » (often heard in just shut 
the door), « 9 iJ » for « 5 is » (often heard in this shop), ad A3 » for adAZ » 
(often heard in does she), « }'au », « i^i » for a 0'lau », « 'cni » (often heard 
in we're not allowed to, they haven't got any more), « blain » for 
« blaind » (generally heard in three blind mice), « ra:0r » for « 'raibar » 
(often heard in rather a good thing), « gu » for « gud » (as in a good 
deal), « o'kAmijinimant for (o'kAmpnimsnt » (accompaniment). 

(4) Reduction of « aia » to « aa », « ao », a a: », or « a: », e.g. « di'zaarabl » or 

((di'zaorobl)) or <(di'za:rabl)) or ((di'za:r0bl » for « di'zaiarabl » (de- 
sirable), and « auo » to « aa » or « aa » or « a: », e.g. « 'koliflaa » or 
« 'koliflao » or « 'kolifla: » for « 'koliflauo » (cauliflower). 

(5) Substitution of co » for ((i)) in the penultimate syllables of terminations 

such as -ity, -ily, e.g. « a'biloti » for « a'biliti » (ability), « 'iizali » for 
« ‘i;zili » (easily), « 'paesod3iz» for « 'paesicl3iz » (passages). 

(6) Variations of stress and sound due to a desire to emphasize one part of 

a word, e g. the form « 'ko'mij^n » (commission) which is sometimes 
used when the word is contrasted with omission, the form « '0ri:-plai » 
(three-ply) which might be used instead of <( '0ri;'plai » when con^ast- 
ing with two-ply. 

(7) Reinforcement of secondary stress on the first syllable of a word for the 

purpose of giving greater emphasis to the whole word, e.g. « ‘fan- 
da'mentl » for « ,fAndo*mentI » (fundamental). 

For variants of sound-/orma^»<w» see next section.

EXPLANATIONS 


VALUES OF THE PHONETIC SYMBOLS 

The mode of formation of the various speech-sounds used in this book is 
shown rougjily in the annexed table (p. xxi). 


Notes on the Sounds and the Variations in their Values 
A. Consonants 

« tj » and « d3 » are always the affricates.^ When a t » and « J » belong to 
different syllables they are separated by a hyphen (see Explanations ^VII). 

Of the English consonants the only ones subject to notable variations in 
manner of articulation are « 1 », « r », « h », the group « hw », and « t ». 

Both ‘ clear ' and ‘ dark ' varieties of « 1 » * are met with in the pronuncia- 
tion of those referred to in § 3 of the Introduction. The majority of these 
speakers use a clear or medium variety whenever a vowel follows, and a 
dark variety when the sound is final or followed by a consonant. It has not 
been thought necessary to mark these differences in the dictionary. 

The variety of « r » most commonly used by those referred to in § 3 of the 
Introduction is a fricative « r » ; with many the sound is accompanied by a lip- 
protrusion. Some use a rolled or semi-rolled (flapped) « r » in many words 
(except when another alveolar consonant precedes).* 

« h )) is often a voiced sound when situated between two voiced sounds (as 
in freehold) ; such voicing has not been specially indicated. 

« hw )) is to be taken to mean either the group « h w+w w », or the single 
sound « AS. » (unvoiced « w »). Both pronunciations occur, and they are difficult 
to distinguish. 

« t » terminating a syllable is pronounced as a glottal stop (« > ») by many 
speakers in common words and expressions in certain situations, and especially 
where the following syllable begins with «n)), <(1)), ((r)), ((w)), or aj ». Thus 
fortnight, Scotland, quite right, I haven’t got one, not yet are often pronounced 
«'fo:?nait», « 'sko^lond)), a'kwai^ *rait)), aai 'hsevnt wAn)), (('no^ 'jet)). 
(The use of the glottal stop for « t » in other positions must, I think, be 
regarded as dialectal.) 


B. Vowels 

As regards English vowels numerous variations in manner of articulation 
may be observed in the speech of those referred to in § 3 of the Introduction. 

A^at I believe to be the average values are shown in the frontispiece with 
greater precision than in the table on p. xxi; in the frontispiece the English 
vowels are placed relatively to a system of 8 ‘cardinal* vowels ai)), ((e)), ((6)), 
(( a », ({ a », (( o )), (( o », (( u », described in books on phonetics.* The diagram 
has reference only to tongue-positions (not to lip-positions) ; the positions of 
the dots are approximately representative of the positions taken up by the 
highest point of the tongue in forming the vowels. The positions of the 
English vowels are shown in red, and those of the cardinal vowels in black. 
The lip-positions are as follows: «o)) has slight open lip-rounding; (o:)), 
« o )), (( u )) have medium open lip-rounding; (( u: )) has close lip-rounding; the 
remainder have spread or neutral lips.

xxii EXPLANATIONS 

The chief variations in the values of the vowels (in the pronunciation of 
those referred to in § 3 of the Introduction) are briefly summarized below. It 
is to be understood that these variants may be substituted for the * average * 
values throughout the dictionary. 

« i: » tends towards and is often replaced by a diphthong consisting of 
lax (( i » followed by tense « i ». 

« i D in unstressed syllables is generally somewhat opener than in stressed 
syllables. Many of those referred to in § 3 of the Introduction re- 
place final unstressed « i » by « e », or sometimes even by « s ». 

« e » varies between cardinal « s » and a point a little above half-way be- 
tween cardinal « e » and cardinal « e ». Some authors write the 
sound with the sign « t », and there is much to be said in favour of 
this mode of representing it. It must be borne in mind, ho^vever, 
that the « e » of the diphthong « ea » is opener than the sound here 
written « e ». 

« a: » varies between cardinal « a » and a point about half-way between 
cardinal ((as and cardinal « a ». 

« o: )) is subject to slight variations, more especially in the matter of the 
^ amount of lip-rounding. In words in which « o: » and « o » are 

alternative pronunciations, some speakers (a relatively small 
number) use an intermediate sound; thus cross is pronounced by 
some « kros », by others « kr3:s », and by others with an inter- 
mediate vowel. This is to be understood to apply to all words in 
which « 0: » and « o » are given as variants of each other. 

« u » is likewise subject to slight variations in the amount of lip-rounding. 
« u: » tends towards and is often replaced by a diphthong made up of lax 
« u )) followed by tense « u ». 

« A » is with some speakers somewhat advanced in the direction of 
cardinal « a ». 

« a: » varies to some extent. With some speakers it is nearer the half- 
close central position, and with others nearer the half-open central 
position. 

a a » varies noticeably according to its position in the word and in the 
sentence. In final position it is often replaced by « a ». In other 
positions its quality varies considerably according to the nature of 
the surrounding sounds; the variations extend from almost «a)) 
to the half-close central position or even higher. Three different 
values may be heard in the words china, cathedral; in the latter 
word the second « 0 » is lower and more retracted than the first a a )).^ 
« ci » tends towards and is often replaced by « ei » or « ee ». 

«ou)) varies considerably, generally in the d»-ection of being advanced 
towards the central position, also to some extent by partial un- 
rounding of the first element; with some the diphthong approaches 
« ou » (with cardinal « o »), especially when followed by a ' dark ' 
<( 1 )). 

« ai » varies slightly both in the direction of « aei » and in the direction of 
« ai ». 

« au » varies between « au » (with cardinal « a ») and « au » (almost with 
cardinal « a »). 

« io » when final tends towards and is often replaced by « iA ». 

<( ea » tends towards and is often replaced by « aeo ». When final it tends 
towards and is often replaced by « ca » or « aba ».

a 09 » when final tends to have a rather open variety of « 9 ».

other variants noted in the body of the dictionary. 

The vowels « ae », « o and the diphthongs « oi »» a oi « ui a ed and

OTHER SIGNS AND ABBREVIATIONS 

: indicates that the sound represented by the preceding s)rmbol is long. 

In the case of the English * long ' vowels « i: », « o: », « u: », « a: », 
this sign also implies the differences of quality between them and 
the corresponding short vowels. For the bracketed (:) see Ex- 
planations V. 

, placed below a consonant-letter (thus « igi », « 1 », « f ») indicates that 
the consonant is syllabic (see Explanations a. VI). 

^ or • applied to the symbol of a voiced sound indicates that the sound is 
breathed (voiceless). 

t placed immediately after the symbol of a plosive consonant means that 
the sound consists of * stop ' only, i.e. is not finished off by a plosion 
(see Explanations XV). 

• indicates that « r » is generally inserted when a word beginning with a 
vowel follows (see Explanations XIV).

^ of breath. 

' indicates that the following syllable has strong stress.

N.B . — As the stress of French words is variable and subject to 
the rules formulated in the books on French phonetics, it 
has not been marked in the transcription of French pro- 
nunciation.

Note. — Many speakers use the forms 
•grirsi and 'gri:zi with a dijjcrence 
ojf meaning, 'gri:si having reference 
merely to the presence of grease and 
'gri:zi having reference to slipperi- 
ness caused by grease. Thus with 
such speakers a candlestick might 
be 'gri:si (i.e. covered with candle- 
grease) without necessarily being 
'gri:zi, while a road might be 'gri:zi 
(i.e. slippery) without being exactly 
'gri'si.
